A Note from Emily
I know I’ve seen this photo before, but to see it on my dad’s Facebook album with his comment about how wow my mom is and was, well, that just needed it’s own page. I chose bright happy colors because my mom is such a joyful person, this is her personified.

July Fun Fact
I spent a delightful week in June scanning photos that my family gained possession of when my grandmother passed away last summer. My grandparents eloped to Idaho because she was too young to get married in Utah without her parents’ consent; she was 19. As a result, there are no wedding photos and because I didn’t ask, I’ll never know if that made her sad.
